Ads

Supported platforms:
Available since: Gideros 2011.6
Inherits from: EventDispatcher

Description

The idea is to provide common Ads interface for most of available ad frameworks, so that user's would not have to create a plugin for each of them separately, but rather it would be possible to wrap ad framework in single Java or Objective-C class (depending on the platform) and add it to the project, without even recompiling existing Ads Interface plugin.

Additionally it would be able to support multiple ad frameworks simultaneously so users could switch and fall back between ad frameworks on runtime.

More information available in [1](Ads interface guide).

Examples

Example 1: Admob

Ads = Core.class(Sprite) -- you need to add "Ads" and "Gaming" to your project Plugins

function Ads:init()

   -- ads
   self.ADMOB_APP_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713" -- google test id
   self.ADMOB_UNIT_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111" -- google test id

   -- admob (setup for simple banner adverts), note: only visible on phone/tablet
   if application:getDeviceInfo() == "android" then
      require 'ads' --create real object for on device
      self.ADMOB = Ads.new('admob')
      self.ADMOB:setKey(self.ADMOB_APP_ID)
      self.ADMOB:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function() -- show ad
         self.ADMOB:showAd('banner')
--         self.ADMOB:setAlignment('center', 'bottom')
         self.ADMOB:setAlignment('center', 'top')
      end)
      self.ADMOB:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e) end)
      self.ADMOB:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_BEGIN, function() end)
      self.ADMOB:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_END, function() end)
      self.ADMOB:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISMISSED, function() end)
   else
      self.ADMOB = {} -- create fake object for testing in windows player
      self.ADMOB.loadAd = function() end
      self.ADMOB.showAd = function() end
   end

   -- LISTENERS
   self:addEventListener("enterBegin", self.onTransitionInBegin, self)
   self:addEventListener("enterEnd", self.onTransitionInEnd, self)
   self:addEventListener("exitBegin", self.onTransitionOutBegin, self)
   self:addEventListener("exitEnd", self.onTransitionOutEnd, self)

end

-- EVENT LISTENERS
function Ads:onTransitionInBegin()
end

function Ads:onTransitionInEnd()
   self.ADMOB:loadAd("banner", self.ADMOB_UNIT_ID)
end

function Ads:onTransitionOutBegin()
end

function Ads:onTransitionOutEnd()
end

Example 2: creating fallbacks with Ads frameworks

--require plugin
require "ads"

--initialize amazon
amazon = Ads.new("amazon")
amazon:setKey("amazon-key")

--initialize admob
admob = Ads.new("admob")
admob:setKey("admob-key")

--if amazon fails
--show admob
amazon:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
	print("amazon AD_FAILED", e.error)
	admob:showAd("auto")
end)

--if admob fails
--show amazon
admob:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
	print("admob AD_FAILED", e.error)
	amazon:showAd("auto")
end)

--start displaying amazon ads
amazon:showAd("auto")

Methods Ads.new initializes new ad framework Ads:enableTesting enable testing ads Ads:get gets property value of the ad Ads:getHeight gets the height of the ad Ads:getPosition gets x and y position of the ad Ads:getWidth gets width of the ad Ads:getX gets x position of the ad Ads:getY gets y position of the ad Ads:hideAd hides ads Ads:set sets property value of the ad Ads:setAlignment sets alignment of the ad Ads:setKey set keys for the framework Ads:setPosition sets position of the ad Ads:setX Sets x position of the ad Ads:setY sets y position of the ad Ads:showAd display ad
